Riveting, beautiful and unrelenting

Pretty Village Pretty Flame treads softly through some treacherous artistic minefields. It's a Yugoslavian film about the wars in Croatia, and it's told from a Serbian perspective. Whether by a miracle or by artistic genius, this film is an absolute success that illuminates the crisis in the Balkans without sounding a triumphalist note or being unduly nationalistic. Guaranteed to keep you in your seat...even if you hate reading subtitles.
